Army En gineers primary enforcing agency against harbor pollution The Army Engineers office said that the sub stance had been sent away for analysis An opinion was expressed that the substance mjjst be some form of industrial waste (The office naturalist a former country boy said the scum was nothing more than pollen from trees oak and pine and others and flowers It is unusually lush at present covering automobiles and streets with the golden dust The scum has been noted in most of the waterways hereabouts The likelihood that this would cause the death' of the fish was held doubtful) Most of

strong possibility that the I ambitious multi million dollar slum I clearance and housing relocation I program will tend to bring about I a reduction in criminal activity I BI Chief Edgar report that United States city crime rates increased by 5 Jr per cent during 1951 policemen in dicated that criminal activity also rose somewhat al though the exact percentage statis tics are not yet available It was pointed out' however that I the increase was largely due to the marked boost in population brought on by a sizable influx of defense workers into this key military area' Taking the population increase into consideration some official indicated that while the number of crimes might have increased there has been no increase in the per centage of crime on per capita basis Confident of
